This included in detail booking flights, booking accommodation, maintaining the list of participants, updating certificates, media coverage, project documentation, VIP and observer management, and also contact with the hotel management.
Other tasks like the media presence before, during and after the TTX were and are still a big part of the media coverage, printing and preparing the booklets, and certificates to the participants, which were also professionally prepared mostly by our staff.
The publiComm team consists of me, Harald Mailer-Fellner, Michael Kollroser, Mag. Eva Kröpfl, Daniel Bointner Photography (www.danielbointner.at), Dr. Brigitta Sáfár, Dr. Timar Tamás, and our back office in Austria, Jimmy Zimmermann, Andre, and Barbara Debre did again an excellent job.

New project: Host Nation Support exercises

With our partner company publicomm GmbH, we again took part in a tenderof the EU General Directorate for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid, our consortium won the contract for two Host Nation Support (HNS) exercises. The contract comprises the design, planning, implementation and evaluation of two EU national support exercises for actors involved in the Union Civil Protection Mechanism. These exercises consist of an online preparation course and a tabletop exercise.

Two TTX are carried out in different countries, one outside the EU and one outside Europe, with different emergency management structures, with national, international and cross-border participation The concept is to introduce HNS as a “Train of Trainers” with prior online-training on UCPM and HNS to practice-oriented experts. Concept and curriculum are developed in cooperation with the consortium advisory board. A newly developed “HNS Toolkit” (paperback, training material, HNS manual with checklists) and the online training course will also be created.
